Over the last few years Right Wing all talk Radio and Fox News Television has been speaking out against the service Unions in this country. Now the republicans in Wisconsin, are wanting to pass legislation to keep service Unions from bargaining for Health Care and better pensions. This will only allow service unions to bargain for better wages. What this will do is prevent Unions to bargain in a meaningful way. This War that has been declared on the service Unions will not stop in Wisconsin. This is a organized effort by the Republican Party to wipe out not only the right to bargain but to break the Unions all over America. This is their true goal. This is the tip of the iceberg. Everything that our Unions have fought for and workers have died for will go by the wayside. Things like Minimum Wage, 40 hour work weeks, time and one half for over time, Health Care benefits, Pensions, vacation pay and higher wages to name a few. This will not just effect Organized Labor but will hurt non Union labor also. So the time to sit at home and wait for for our elected officials to help is over. We need to get out and Rally for labor in our towns our State Capitals and even head to Washington DC. If Labor does not get out and fight this Republican onslaught it will be to late for us and our children. The question I will ask you is, do you want your children to live in poverty or live a better life than you did?
